Copying Component Content Units
How to Copy Component Content Units | Copy content from an existing component unit to a new content unit.
Prerequisites: See Page Builder Prerequisites for details.
You may find that an existing component content unit is similar to one that you plan to build. Rather than creating a new content unit, you can copy an existing one as a starting point for the new one.
To copy a component content unit:
- Navigate to Administration > Presentation Content Units. The Management view displays.
- Select the Component Content Units tab.
- In the Component Content Units tab, select the component content unit that will serve as the base for the new one.
- Choose one of the following steps.
- In the Actions menu, click Copy.
- In the Actions menu, click Edit. The Create/Edit view displays. In the Content Unit Actions menu, click Make Copy.
The Create/Edit view opens a New Content Unit area that populates with the schema fields of the selected component content unit.
Note: Ingeniux CMS copies all content unit fields except for the Name, Field Name, and image thumbnail.
- Complete the process as you would when creating component content units, which includes your customizations for the new content unit.
Note: Be sure to provide a unique Name and Field Name value for the new component content unit.
Additional Info:
If you plan to reuse the schema of the copied component content unit or if you apply a different component schema, keep in mind that you cannot add or remove elements from Administration > Presentation Content Units. You can, however, modify attributes of these schemas within the Presentation Content Unit area, such as the default value of the element.
